Ice maker isn't working...

Hi, I've got Amana SXD524VW Side by Side.Our ice maker fills water, freeze them to cubs but doesn’t spill them to the ice box. By the way the indicator (small tube with string) is down (so its need to fill up).What could be the problem?
If you suspect that the ice maker engine are gone – where could I find spare parts?
Thank you,

sounds like the water valve has failed . ck it / in hte back where the water line is hooked .. it will be a dual valve one side for the foutain and the other for ice . do not cross the wires . mar them when you remove. and reinstall them the same .,mm

First thing to check is the fill tube and make sure it is not frozen with ice.some ice makers can be manually advanced in order to refill with water some have a reset button to do this if these two things do no good and the fill tube is not blocked with ice then repalce the water fill valve on the bottom rear of the unit

The water inlet valve on the back of the unit where the water supply comes in can have a slow leak and will cause ice to buildup and block the fill tube. Disconnect the ice maker line from the valve and watch to see if it has a slow drip. It doesn’t take much to eventually block the fill tube.The valve can leak because of sediment in the water preventing it from closing or low water pressure.

Pour about 1/2 cup of water into ice maker . If it dumps , replace the water valve . If doesn't dump , replace the ice maker . Also make sure the coils are clean of dust , lint , etc...the temperature(it needs to be 0-4 degree F for the ice maker to start) may be defrost problem send me a note if you need info on that

It is possible that your icemaker tray is overfilling and the excess water is running out of the ice chute. There is an adjustment screw on the icemaker head beneath the large white cover which can be adjusted to compensate for this. If not then the icemaker head may need to be changed to correct this.
